A Note For Exercise #10 : One year Anniversary One year has passed since I started using italki. I finally decided to use italki because of simplicity after trying several websites for language learning. There are many websites which are made elaborately, but most of all are after all quite complicated. The website italki has everything I need. I had been a little lazy until last autumn, but I made up my mind to write something here as often as possible, so that I am going to get proud of expressing in foreign language. Also I can be inspired by other language learners here. I have been trying to keep my position on the ranking of notebook entry. I have forced myself to be within top 10 among German language learners in terms of the number of entry.

(0) A Note for Exercise #10 : One Year Anniversary

One year has passed since I started using italki. I finally decided to use italki because of (1) its simplicity after trying several websites for language learning. There are many websites which are made elaborately, (2) but and most of all are after all quite complicated. The website italki has everything I need. I had been a little lazy until last autumn, but I made up my mind to write something here as often as possible so that I am going to get proud of (3) will become confident in expressing (4) myself in (5) a foreign language.

Also, I can be inspired by other language learners here. I have been trying to keep my position on the ranking of notebook entry (6) notebook entry rankings. I have forced myself to be within top 10 among German language learners in terms of the number of entry (7) entries.

 

0. In titles, capitalize every word except prepositions, articles 'a' and 'an', and conjunctions 'and', 'but', 'or'. (and capitalize the first word)

1. The simplicity of what?

2. Changed 'but' to 'and' because elaborate and complicated both seem like negative points to me.  Use of 'most of all' / 'after all' are a bit strange here, but I can't quite explain why. -__-

3. Use 'I will' instead of 'I am going to' after 'so that'.  'Proud' tends to be used for being proud of someone, so I replaced it with 'confident'.

4. I feel like 'expressing' is transitive, and needs an object.  i.e. 'Expressing my opinion', 'Expressing myself.'

5. Remember articles. :P  a/the/some/many/-s/etc.

6. Place 'ranking' at the end.  I feel that 'rankings' is better than 'ranking', but you could use either.

7. Use plural form after 'number of'.


Good luck on your studies, this looks very good!  I may have gone overboard, but I felt like giving feedback everywhere today.  You seem to be advanced enough a learner to want this feedback.  Feel free to ask questions if you'd like! :D
